I won't make an edit of the trivia, but consider these next time someone does instead of just deleting and saying "It's not proven". Because I think there's very much reason to believe so.[[User:SirSomeguy|SirSomeguy]] ([[User talk:SirSomeguy|talk]]) 21:25, 9 June 2020 (UTC) | I won't make an edit of the trivia, but consider these next time someone does instead of just deleting and saying "It's not proven".

:That's not the point of the Jimmy argument. The point was just because someone is named Jim doesn't mean it's immediately a reference to anyone (famous or otherwise) named "Jim" or "Jimmy". Same case here. Arin may be an uncommon name, but there are other people named Arin. Danny and Ross are way too common of a name to be considered a reference. Danny could've been a reference to Danny Phantom or Ross... well, there are just simply way too many people with the first/surname of Ross. And Danny being a nickname is besides the point. | |||
:Yes, they're grouped together, but it's still a coincidence and it may not be a reference at all. The Batman reference works because of the Pokemon they own and the names of the trainers being named after the actors that played Batman. If they were named anything else or given other Pokemon, then that trivia would not be there. As you say, the Pokemon helps that case. What do the Gastly line have to do with Game Grumps trio? Is it their mascot? Signature Pokemon? If not, then it's not a reference. A reference needs more than just the names matching, because anyone can pick a name and say it's a reference to someone. | |||
:The last two points are completely irrelevant. So what if Ross acknowledges it? Doesn't automatically mean it's a reference. Unless he got word from TPCI themselves and confirmed the reference, it means nothing. And just because Nintendo knows them, doesn't mean The Pokemon Company will. And it also doesn't mean that Nintendo have the obligation to reference a youtuber in a game just because they did something with them. | |||
:Just to re-iterate the main point: a reference must be more than just sharing the same name.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#00A1E9">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#59C2F1">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#BF004F">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#D5598C">ire</span>]] 06:23, 10 June 2020 (UTC) | |||
